[10] However, Malmberg and Johansson previously sold the track to Danish artist Jeanett Debb and it was included on her album Virtualize, which was released in January 2001.

[11][12] Even though the lyrics are credited solely to Amuro, it shares English lines from Debb's version of the song.

Amuro went on to perform "Say the Word" at the 52nd NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen as a part of the Red team, marking her seventh consecutive appearance at the prestigious event.

[14] It is the third single from the charity project "song+nation" (described as "songnation" in some places) launched by Tetsuya Komuro and Max Matsuura in response to the September 11 attacks in the United States.

[23] Love Enhanced Single Collection descended to number seven on the albums chart on its second week of availability, shifting 61,910 units.

[25] The album then slid to number eighteen on the chart, selling 17,840 units,[26] before dropping out of the top twenty entirely the following week.

The underwhelming performance of the album's inaugural sales was attributed to Amuro's popularity and personal life at the time being in freefall, which caused her to be hounded by the media.

[27] At this time, Amuro was dealing with declining popularity among the rise of other Japanese singers, such as Hikaru Utada and labelmate Ayumi Hamasaki, and her much-publicized personal troubles, such as her recent divorce from professional dancer Masaharu "Sam" Maruyama and losing custody of her son.

[28][29][30] In all, Love Enhanced Single Collection stayed in the top 300 chart for a total of ten weeks.

[33] According to Oricon Style, Love Enhanced Single Collection is Amuro's seventeenth best-selling album overall.
